What will we do without Liz Lemon?

Last night 30 Rock said goodbye after a seven-season run. It managed to be touching (Liz's honest goodbye), silly (hi, Ice-T) and satisfying to viewers who had remained devoted since the beginning. To spell it out: "That's our show. Not a lot of people watched it, but the joke's on you because we got paid anyway."

The series has followed Liz's quest to achieve a family and successful career, and last night she got both. Even though her wedding and adoption were pretty rushed this season, I'm glad we got to see her happy - and the same goes for Jack, who crossed off his big goals before taking the world's shortest boat trip.

Tracy and Jenna didn't change by the end of the hour, and that's how it should be. As for Kenneth, his promotion was one of the season's funniest developments, and I'm glad the writers gave Grizz, Pete and Lutz some love in the finale as well.

So what did you think? Were you happy with the final installment, or did it fall flat? What was your favorite moment? (I might pick the Temple Grandin reference ...) And what about that snow globe?
